WARNING. Steer clear of this seller. I paid £2,755 for a Canon EOS R5 camera - BIG MISTAKE Not until the camera failed 6 months after purchase and taking it to the Canon repair center did I discover- 1. The camera had never been assigned a serial number or the serial number had been removed. 2. This invalidated the default one year "Canon Warranty" 3. The repair cost me a few pence under £500 to replace a failing PCB (motherboard) 4. Missing serial number threw doubt over the claim that the camera was "NEW" and its authenticity. (had it been stolen?) 5. Retrieving a serial number from the metadata of the photos, Canon advised me that the camera "was never intended for sale in the UK or Europe" 6. Seller showed no sympathy - just simply stating that their (unpublicized) warranty of 3 months had expired. 7. I telephoned Camix and asked to speak to customer services, but I was told "he" was away and would not return for three days. 8. This case has been referred to the Canon European investigation unit who are keen to know where this camera originated from.

This is a grey import and does not offer ANY warranty as far as I can tell. BEWARE!

The elephant in the room is the cost and video issues. I don't do video so I don't care about that aspect and Canon has fixed some of the issues with the latest firmware releases. As for the cost, there is no getting around it. For those able/willing to accept it, you will be getting a great camera. I was an old DSLR snob for the longest time but I haven't touched my DSLRs since I got this. I primarily shoot wildlife (birds) and landscape images. The shots I get with the R5 are incredible. I opted for the R5 over the R6 knowing that I would occasionally need to crop in for some bird images. I am able to maintain quality when cropping. The eye detection is truly amazing. I am continually surprised at how well the camera detects the birds from great distances through brush and busy backgrounds. That being said, there are times where I will revert to spot focusing since the camera will sometimes miss eye focus. The autofocus is also great for locking onto birds in flight. As a long time hobbyist, I could never hope to focus quick enough. The R5 eye detection allows me to capture images I would normally not get. I also use the camera to take pictures of my son's soccer games. I can track player movement, focus on specific players in a group, capture fast moving sequences. At 12 fps in mechanical mode, I am able to stop action with ease. I did use electronic shutter and it is smooth like butter. You are essentially taking a very fast stop action video. The problem is that you don't realize how many pictures you are capturing when you hold down the shutter button. You can fill a card pretty quickly in electronic mode. I only shoot to the SD card slot and have never filled the buffer during a game. Again, this is an expensive camera but it is worth the price tag for my uses. Great image quality. Incredible eye detection autofocus. Good image quality at high ISO (not a lot of noise). Ability to use my old EF lenses with an adapter with no loss in image quality or autofocus speeds. I have used the R5 with RF lenses and they do add another level of quality and decrease weight. I am just not ready to sell all my old EF lenses to invest in a pure RF system.

An amazing camera! Love it!

Hands down the best camera I've ever used, and arguably the best camera body on the market.

The Canon EOS R5 is hands down the most impressive camera I’ve ever used. As a hybrid shooter who does both photography and video, this camera checks every box and then some. Let’s start with the image quality—the 45MP sensor delivers stunning detail, dynamic range, and color. Whether I’m shooting portraits, landscapes, or events, the files are sharp and incredibly flexible in post. Autofocus is blazing fast and insanely accurate, especially with Eye/Face Detection. It locks on and tracks subjects like magic, even in challenging lighting. For video, the 8K recording is mind-blowing, and the 4K HQ mode looks cinematic and crisp. Canon's color science shines here. Overheating concerns were way overblown—it performs just fine in real-world use with proper settings and breaks between clips. In-body stabilization (IBIS) is a major win—handheld shots look rock-steady, and paired with RF lenses, the results are buttery smooth. The fully articulating touchscreen and dual card slots are also major conveniences. Yes, it’s an investment, but if you're a pro or serious enthusiast, the R5 is worth every penny. It’s fast, versatile, and absolutely reliable. Canon nailed it with this one.
